Pros:

Nice smell
Fairly priced
Calms skin, reduces redness, makes it VERY soft.
Effective.
Feverfew is very calming.
Leaves very few pimples behind.
Skin feels very refreshed afterwards.
Gentle enough to use in the middle of the day.
No harsh chemicals.

Cons:

Annoying pump, plastic cap gets lost easily.
NO CONS ON THE ACTUAL SOAP :)

I had been using very harsh salicylic acid acne washes from Clearasil, Clean and Clear, some Drug store brands even (CVS, DR etc.) , and they RARELY worked.. in fact they made my skin look even worse! Then I was told to get a more calming cleanser. I really couldn't choose so I just randomly picked the Aveeno wash one off the shelf. It was a stroke of luck! After a mere week, I saw my redness and swelling of my breakouts get much less noticeable! Sometimes I'd try out new soaps, but I always went back to this one. It's my safety net, really. Although it doesn't actually prevent the acne from starting, it does a very good job in treating it once it has surfaced on your skin. I would SURELY recommend this to anyone. No matter what acne severity.

Pros:

I think this cleanser is great for people with sensitive, oily skin. It makes my skin soft, and a lot of the redness has gone away. I tend to be allergic to perfumes, and it has never bothered me.

Cons:

I hate the pump dispenser. It stopped working properly the week I got it. If I didn't love the cleanser so much, I probably wouldn't use it just for that.

I love the product and will continue to use it. I've tried a number of products and never had the results that I've had with this. Reading over the reviews, I think many of the bad reviews are from those with dry skin, and this is probably not the best product for that type of skin. I also think Aveeno is good for slightly older skin (30+), as I think the type of acne older skin tends to develop needs to be dealt with differently from younger skin. Most cleansers are not meant to be used as makeup removers, and you should use a separate remover for makeup.

Pros:

super light
actually doesn't over dry

Cons:

a little expensive - i think i paid around $8

this is the best face wash i've ever used and i've used them all. i used to use some bad over drying stuff thinking that it would elminate oil from my skin. once i learned it doesn't work like that i tried to find the lightest, most gentle face wash out there and i finally found it!!! this stuff is amazing. i strongly recommend it. i don't care how sensitive your skin is, you will barely notice you washed your face. don't get fancy with face washes. just pick something that's light and doesn't over dry and you're golden.

Pros:

light feeling, seems like it cleanses very well. gentle on skin- works great with Dan's regimen. the best part about it is that I don't need to use a separate eye makeup remover with it. Even heavy mascara and eyeliner is removed effectively.

Cons:

none i can think of!

use it- it's great for sensitive skin. my skin looks awesome!

Pros:

Gentle, non-abrasive, fresh-cleansing, affordable

Cons:

Pump Dispenser gets stuck!!!

I am 27 with fair, acne-prone skin. Been using this product over the past 2 years & like it better than anything else. Every time I try something new, I always revert back to this one. It's very gentle, does not irritate my skin, cleans w/o being abrasive, smells fresh (almost no smell at all). I used to use face scrubs w/ micro-beads, but that only irritated my skin & acne. This foam took some getting used to when I quit the scrubs, but I love it. I use it when I wake up & before I go to bed (followed by Clearogen lotion). The only thing I really hate about this product is the bottle design! Grrrr.... Midway through the bottle, the pump is uncooperative & will get stuck when you push it down. They really need to make a better pump for this bottle. That's the only improvement I can ask for. Please correct this Aveeno!

Pros:

Gentle on skin, helped my eczema and acne and removes makeup very well!

Cons:

The soap is perfect, but the pump gets stuck.

I am in my 30s and have very fair, sensitive skin. I had eczema on my face and eyelids and this was the only cleanser gentle enough for it. It clears my hormonal acne and is the best thing I ever used to quickly and completely remove all makeup, even the tons of mascara I use! This is the best product I ever bought! So happy to have found it!

Pros:

has a pump, fragrance free, soft, noncomedogenic

Cons:

I guess it's "pricey" but it's worth it for clear face

This is an extremely soft and gentle cleanser. It is probably the best you can get at a drug store. Glycerin is the second ingredient and it doesn't seem to have SLS although it doesn't say it's sulfate free. It's a foam so you don't have to work it in your hands. This is definitely my holy grail.

Pros:

Cleans skin very gently, good price, smells nice, the pump is very convenient, does NOT break me out!

Cons:

Slightly drying at first, but my skin has adjusted over time.

This is a great product. I have VERY oily skin, slightly combination, and moderate acne.. and I love Aveeno. I am proud to say I don't have break-out issues with this product.

Pros:

-takes off ALL my makeup, it's amazing!
-makes my skin smooth and soft
-light, wonderful fragrance
-doesnt make me break out
-foam, so no need to work it in your hands first
-free of harsh chemicals

Cons:

-i dont recommentd to dry skinned people, it might dry you out, i have semi-oily skin so it's perfect
-the pump gets stuck like many people said, but that can be prevented if you KEEP THE TOP (the pump part) DRY.
-don't depend on it to clear your acne completely, if you want to clear your acne buy something for it as well

WONDERFUL, my face seems brighter, the tone is even, and my skin isnt ashy looking or feeling AT ALL<3 It does not make you break out, but you still might get the occasional pimple so don't depend on it to keep ALL acne away, i use acne wash at night and aveeno in the morning. The first time i got it i had to hand lift the pump and bring it down because it got stuck after the first week, but then i discovered that this was so because water got inside the pump, therefore causing it to get stuck. So now i keep it in a dry place at all times (next to the sink is fine) and wipe it if i accidentally splash water on it. Another wonderful thing about this wash is that it takes off all of your makeup!!! Overall, this face wash is the best one I've tried so far!! I highly recommend it(:
